About Dundee Therapy Garden
Dundee Therapy Garden (DTG) is a Scottish charity supporting military and emergency service veterans facing mental
and physical health challenges. Through therapeutic gardening, counselling, and community activities, DTG helps
veterans rebuild confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, reconnect with loved ones, and regain a sense of
purpose.
The charity provides a safe and welcoming space where veterans can take part in gardening, arts and crafts, baking,
cooking, and other hands-on activities that promote wellbeing and social connection.
A team of experienced mental health professionals and a resident gardener offer tailored support, helping each
veteran develop self-confidence and self-worth in a calm and supportive environment.

and using SAGE software to manage transactions. Additionally, they will oversee the charity’s website and online
presence, ensuring content remains up to date and engaging.
A high level of attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively is essential. Working with a
small, dedicated team, they will collaborate with counsellors, a mental health nurse, a gardener, volunteers,
